ABOUT THE TEAM
QualityOS, a team within ArsenalOS, is responsible for building software that upholds the highest standard of quality for our customer-ready hardware. Quality is one of the three primary Operating Systems in the ArsenalOS landscape, and it is served by an ever-evolving suite of software solutions to facilitate inspections, dispositions, root causes, and corrective actions that happen throughout the production lifecycle. We are looking for an experienced Software Product Manager to own and elevate the experiences that support our Quality customers.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As a Senior Software Product Manager for QualOS, you will be responsible for a combination of Quality Engineering tools and how they support end user workflows and integrate with the rest of Anduril’s business systems. You will be responsible for:
- Developing a long-term strategy that navigates complex product tradeoffs, integration dependencies, and buy versus build scenarios to ultimately push the entire Systems Engineering domain forward
- Building a holistic solution that empowers end users to complete their work effectively and efficiently while ensuring authoritative controls and full end-to-end traceability across domains
- Partner with Quality Technicians, Quality Engineers, and Reliability Engineers to develop and implement tooling strategies both short and long term vision, managing their requirements and synthesizing them into a prioritized backlog
- Communicating across stakeholders and interested parties on QualOS development and roadmap
- Driving adoption and enablement of QualOS solutions across Anduril business lines and divisions
Product Strategy
- You can “see around the corner'” for your product, crafting the vision, high-level roadmap, and critical dependencies for 6-12 months into the future. You constantly engage with stakeholders to solicit input and buy-in, proactively communicating product goals and managing expectations for delivery. You escalate large trade offs and necessary decision points as needed. You work effectively with many internal teams to synthesize their needs, but are never afraid to make important decisions as the owner of your product.
Product Prioritization
- You work backward from your strategy to set clear outcomes for your portfolio in partnership with your engineering, design, and business partners. You will support team structures that allow prioritization of competing work within rapid development cycles. You consistently let your team flex to adapt goals when needed, based on new information.
Problem discovery and Solution Generation
- You become attached to problems, not solutions. To do this, you will seek out real-world context in the form of onsite user research, internal expert feedback, existing product data, and industry tech investigation. You will capture core workflows and translate these user needs into well-scoped requirements and success hypotheses.
Product Execution
- From design to delivery, you fill gaps wherever needed to make your well-scoped solutions a reality. You proactively communicate with internal team members and external stakeholders, approach solutions with humility and creativity in order to hit milestones, and set a high bar for the product that you own.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Five to seven years in a software product management role
- Expertise in (1) building workflow applications for users and (2) application to application integrations using a variety of technologies
- Strong understanding of the interplay between enterprise systems, including role-based permissions, governance and controls, data authorities, and traceability
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to balance requirements across engineering, design, data, and business stakeholders
- Comfortable working with internal and external stakeholders, across a wide range of technical comfort
- Demonstrated success decomposing a problem into addressable component parts and arranging the correct sequencing
- Proven ability to “see around corners” by crafting product strategy for 6-12 months into the future
- Comfort in maturing a product from MVP to enterprise-grade production
- Must be able to travel up to 25% of the time
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- 2+ years experience in or supporting a Quality Engineering organization
- Domain expertise within hardware-related industries (Aerospace, Defense, Automotive, Consumer Electronics etc.)
- Experience with UI / UX web design tools (e.g. Figma)
